I'd like to use menu:updateItem:atIndex:shouldContinue: to build a
volatile menu on the fly (Yes, I know, changing menus are
generally bad. In this case it's appropriate.), but I'd also like
to use a custom subclass of NSMenuItem for the actual items. This
_seems_ to work fine if within my method I remove the provided
item from the menu and insert a new one at the same index. The
problem I run into is that even though I set the target and action
for that newly-created menu item, it the target never gets the
opportunity to validate the menu item (and as a result those items
are permanently disabled). The validation method _is_ invoked for
one menu item that I don't try to replace.
Is there a better way to specify the class of the items I want, or
is there a way to ensure validation happens?
I dont think cocoa calls validate for those dynamic items..call it
yourself for the items you added!?
It's definitely getting called for any item that I modify rather than
replace. I've tried (now) explicitly invoking the validation routine
- I've even just sent setEnabled: to the item - and still no luck.
